Unit 6: School Lunch in France
What Do Children Eat in France?
Schools in France want children to eat healthy lunches. Healthy food helps children grow, learn, and play. Children can eat ketchup only once a week because ketchup has a lot of sugar. Many schools think too much sugar is not healthy. On burger day, children can have burgers and French fries with ketchup.
Some schools in France also give children vegetables, fruit, bread, soup, cheese, and water. Children sit together and eat slowly. Teachers want children to enjoy good food and healthy habits.
